Ask Yourself Why Are You Replacing Your Yacht Cordage:

  • Is your cordage clean? To clean your cordage place in a washing machine on gentle cycle using a mild detergent and then air dry. If it still looks dirty to you- replace your cordage.
  • Is your cordage no longer holding in the clutch, winch, or cleat like it used to? Before you purchase new line make sure it is not the holding device. Test the device by inserting the newest piece of cordage available in the correct diameter and give it a tug on the reverse side.  
  • If wear, tear, and or chafing has taken its toll on your cordage, you may have slippage - time to replace your yacht cordage.
